Brandon Spencer Moreland was 28 when he was shot in Nevada, Missouri, on May 24, 2016. Police responded to reports of shots fired in the 800 block of East Ashland and found Moreland in an apartment parking lot with several gunshot wounds; he was taken to Nevada Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead. He was a father of two daughters and had a third child on the way.

The Southwest Missouri Major Case Squad was activated for the city’s first homicide since 2009. Investigators conducted interviews, obtained search warrants and identified a person of interest. Evidence recovered after a search of an apartment in nearby Walker led to a citizen tip that helped Vernon County Sheriff’s personnel locate and arrest 32-year-old Casey G. Anders. Anders, who was on parole from the Missouri Department of Corrections, was booked on charges including voluntary manslaughter, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute; bond was set at $300,000 cash only.

Does anyone have information about Moreland’s life in Nevada or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
